FIRST DESIGNS

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

INSPIRATION
2 CHARACTERS (named by appearance)

My film will only have two main characters with no dialogue. Their actions will help describe their personalities by the way each one reacts to the same situation. In order for the interaction between them to work one character will lead whilst the other follows.

APE 1: timid, shy and not confident in dealing with humans. Is not adventures and tries to avoid trouble.

APE 2: Cheeky, is an oportunist and gets what he wants. He is adventurous and is not intimidated by humans.




I will humanize their appearance so that they dont look like ordinary apes. This should help facilitate in capturing a range of emotions. Since they are mute characters more emphasis will be made on postures. I want to capture apes natural postures, line of action and expressions and incorporated that into my characters for believeability.
